Pros
The Indigo Stroller is very stylish. It sleek contemporary look makes it an attractive accessory for on-the go modern parents. At only 22 pounds, it is compact and lightweight making it more convenient to move around and store. It is also very easy to assemble. No need for screws or knots and bolts. The wheels and seat easily snap in place and it is ready for use.
This stroller features larger wheels than competitors in its class, making it easier to maneuver on any type of ground surface. Its rear wheel brakes are a safety feature that allows parents to “park” with peace of mind. The relatively wide seat easily adjusts from an upright to reclining position with an easy release feature that also allows you to switch from forward-facing to “parent-facing” position.
The large storage basket has more than enough space to carry the usual baby basics plus a little extra. It also has a cloth pocket with zippers which parents can use to store their wallets, keys and cell phones or loose change without fear of these falling out or easily getting lost. Its canopy offers baby sufficient protection from sun and rain.
Cons
Although it is narrower than other strollers, it tends to be a bit bulky when folded with the seat attached. To get a truly flat fold, you need to remove the seat first before folding. Although, removing the seat is not all too difficult. The rubber on the handle bar easily wears and tears. Perhaps the most disappointing thing about this stroller is its wheels tend to squeak after a period of use.
